Picture 4.4 Student’s Discussion in the Classroom
2.4 Reflection:
In this phase, he caught some problems during the activity on the cycle II. Having discussed with several
students, the writer make a plan to do a new writing activity. And the steps on this phase can be listed as
follows;
a. Giving the questionnaire about problems they
face in the second cycle. b.
Discussing the problem with some students.
c. Discussing about what they feel after posting
their recount text on Edmodo. advantages and disadvantages
d.
Discussing about the new activity on Edmodo.
The result of the questionnaire indicates that the major problem they found in writing recount text was
about making a draft before posting it on Edmodo. They thought that it was not easy to make a draft on Edmodo.
Another problem they found was that they were not able to reply the response when they were not on line. They
thought that the notification they received from email seems to be disturbing because they would be notified all
of the activities on Edmodo.
Having found some problem in this cycle, the writer discussed with the students in order to find the
solution. With regard to the problem in making a draft, he then tried to teach students on how to make a draft before
posting their recount on Edmodo. To overcome the problem, the writer asked students to make draft of
writing by using paper and asked them to post their writing after they had discussed their writing draft with
other groups and had been corrected by the teacher.
Regarding to the notification problem, the writer tried to discuss with the students and gave the explanation
that the notification problem could not be overcome since the notification was one of the features on Edmodo in
which the entire group members were notified about the activity conducted on Edmdo. To sum up, the writer did
not take any action regarding to the notification issue since it dealt with Edmodo policy.
In this phase, the writer discussed with the students about the new activity and from the discussion it
was resulted that most of the students asked the activity which is more fun and challenging. From the discussion,
it is found that most of the students are familiar with such activity called role playing. It is the activity in which
students could behave as a figure or character they wish to play in the group. It is therefore, the next activity will be
role playing activity using Edmodo. And the theory supporting was free-
writing in which “students are encouraged to behave like writers in real life and to ask
themselves the crucial questions about purpose and audience.
